CTS Printex, Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, Region 9. CERCLIS No. CAD009212838. Final report
The California Department of Health Services (CDHS) has prepared the health assessment under cooperative agreement with the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). The CDHS/ATSDR Health Assessment is a mechanism to provide the community with information on the public health implications of specific hazardous waste sites and identify those populations for which further health actions or studies are indicated. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency placed the former CTS Printex site, located in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, on the National Priorities List in February 1990. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is the lead governmental agency regulating the cleanup at the CTS Printex site. Two sources of pollutants identified from the process were the sump and wet floor at 1911 Plymouth which were contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals. In 1985 and 1986, the sump and a total of 290 cubic yards of metal- and VOC-contaminated soil were excavated from beneath the wet floor. Various organic contaminants have been detected in on-site and off-site groundwater at levels of human concern.Based on information reviewed, ATSDR and CDHS have concluded that the former CTS Printex site is not an apparent public health hazard. Off-site resident and worker exposure is predicted by an indoor air-model but the exposure is at a level below that of health concern. The site is not being considered for follow-up health activities at this time.
